Checklist before my next Session (1/4/2011)
Tuesday, January 4, 2011 at 7:16PM Before the next online session:
1) Keep it around 4-6 tables to start. If you grind up some money or feel very comfortable add to around 10. If not log in 2-3 hours.
2) Focus on quality over quanity for next session.
3) Focus on attacking fish.
4) Don’t stack off to nit regulars.
5) ENERGY. Either natural or unnatural. Last session I was dragging, seriously out of it.
6) Review all the big pots you lost from the 2 hour -$100 session earlier. See if anything could be done differently (besides not running AK into AA 30 times)
7) Minimum 6 more hours tonight.
8) Don't get angry and chat remains off.
9) Just expect that the top 1% of the range will be awarded across 10 tables to the villain regardless of whether he is a solid reg or a 50/25/10 bomb. Just expect it's going to happen like every session and save yourself the hassle of getting mad. Nothing you can do when it does.
10) Text back your date for tomorrow! So –EV……

Yep - it's like a friend of mine always says: Even shitty players get dealt aces and kings.
I spew so hard to them in mtt's constantly. Even though I see those 55/8 stats I still 3 bet AQ and JTs and shit like that.
Will you get AK in preflop vs regs on a 100 bb stack? I don't do it since I was putting them on a range of QQ+ (and some times JJ but that still doesn't help us) and AK which means it's -EV to be getting all in pre.
I don't see them going with AQ or AQs all in pre.
FK,
Well I've been playing 50BB stacks, not 100. With the AK it really depends on the regular and 3-bet%. With some guys you might as well throw your money in a trash can. I often hit situations where a regular 3-bets a fish, then my AK becomes a 50BB shove all in. I'd have to make sure that the regular has a good amount of QQ, JJ? and AQ? in his range before stacking with AK pre when a fish is not present (many only stack vs regulars pre with KK+). If they show no evidence that they could possibly stack with anything other than AA or KK pre, then I can fold the AK. Your AK is 18% equity vs KK+ which is hopeless. You find a lot of guys that will stack with AK pre, so your equity is like 30 some % against KK+, AKs, AKo
Then again, you get in some situations around the blinds where AK becomes more all-in pre even against regulars. Makes sense if someone's stealing 30-50%, then you have a light 3-bet dynamic, then the 4-bet shove becomes lighter than usual.
